>> actually a bit more since 4s and 2s allow him to hit the ace point blot and get another go at picking up another checker.

I think ALL numbers will hit a checker, except for 55 and the obvious 22 (dance).

At least, I'd happily hit with sixes and the other numbers are nicely diverted with deuces and fours being the worst numbers at the far side of the board, playing nicely at our home side of the board...

Maybe the above quoted comment underlines Timothy's point, of Black easily playing away enough equity to make this a take, no matter what the rollouts say.
